    Would you consider yourself experienced with WorldEdit? Why? -

    Yes, I would consider myself pretty experienced using World Edit. I have been using it for a while and should know all the odds and ends of using it, now I'm not perfect but experienced. I've used World Edit in all sorts of builds just to see if I can make them a hair bit better, but I have definitely used World Edit for terraforming and find it really fun to do so.

    Would you consider yourself experienced with VoxelSniper? Why? -

    No, I am not experienced with using Voxel Sniper but I do know the basic need to know commands for it and have always wanted to try it. Also I'm always ready and willing to learn something new that can better benefit myselft, others and my builds.

    How active would you be on Brawl's Build Team? (A couple hours per week, one hour per day, etc.) -

    I have always enjoyed building on Brawl and would find the most time possible to be able to contribute and help the server. ( At least an hour a day, if I miss a day on the week days I'll be able to make it up on the weekends. )

    Why do you want to join Brawl's Build Team? -

    Like I said above I have always enjoyed building on Brawl. Being on the team would make it 10 times better. I still remember till this day talking to @Scoat2 and probably bugging @AndyinaBEARsuit, possibly @MrDasky aswell, that I wanted them to come give an opinion on one of my builds on Creative. When they did I felt extremely appreciated and was telling myself I wanted to be one of them one day. Just joining would be great but I know I could help the team out whether it was building something big, small, simple or even something over detailed (if we are in to that).

    What would you consider your greatest strength with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) -

    I would consider my greatest strengths are in building Medieval, Terraforming, Detailing, Trees and building Realistically. Which I will show what I mean in a build soon.

    What would you consider your greatest weakness with building?     (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) -

    I would consider my greater weakness in building Modern, its one of the things I am practicing, also building statues is very difficult as of I have little prior experience to do so.

    List any previous experience you have with building -

    I have built for several servers and sadly they went down due to inactivity. I love to build and always will I will always try to help out when I can. I know what it takes to be a builder not just building but also communication is very important while building.

    Pictures: (Include as many pictures of your builds as you can. If you do not include pictures, your application will be automatically denied. When possible, include proof that the builds are your own.)

    Heres just my past builds to show my progress.

    I made these one day because on teamspeak I was talking to @icedmoca and I later told him I wanted to apply for builder and he gave me two challenges medieval and modern, just to show him what I could do.

    +1, nice builds don't knwo you too well though. Tip: for terraining mountains, have grass *dirt* and then stone. It adds more blend and looks a lot nicer.

    Your builds are few, but the ones you have are very detailed and great. +1 from me. (You also said you have more, so it's fine)

    I've never seen you online before, but it could be an opposite time zone thing. Very nice builds and very nice progress. Could you show some screenshots without shaders? Shaders make things look pretty, but I'd like to see the basic construction.

    My main concern so far is my unfamiliarity with you, I'll see if I can catch you online sometime. I really like what I see so far.

    I can understand why you think this as of I just watched a couple of his videos they may seem similar but thats just how I build and always had.

    Also what would you like me to build?

    I also understand this and I will get pictures without shaders soon. I have been active on different Brawl servers but on build I will play during the night time, like late at night. I would be unfamiliar to a player who just joined within the last 6 months maybe. I just got back from a long break a couple weeks ago.

    Ok I honestly don't know where you got this from. I have never deliberately copied a build nor would I ever use someone elses build on my own application.

    Thank you so much for the support!

    Thank you for the tip I appreciate the advice.

    I am looking for the builds as we speak and thank you!

    I'm not sure if this was directed at me, but I've been active on Brawl for over a year now and on MinecraftBuild for over two years. I'm familiar with most of the long term Brawlers. Perhaps it's a time zone issue.

    Sorry I didn't mean to direct that towards you as much as I did. It is possible you didn't see me back then due to time zones, aswell as I was more of the sit back and watch kinda of person. I have seen you on build a couple times recently but you probably didn't see me because I'm lost in the white names. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Thank you and I would like to see this tutorial if you ever find it.

    Do you have anything non-medieval to showcase?

    Those were some beautiful builds, plus you're generally mature in chat. +1

    Very nice builds, but as said above do you have any builds that aren't medieval based?

    -1, for now.

    Obviously you know what you're doing but I'm a little worried about the main part of your application: it's small, it's generic and everything's been taken with shaders, which the majority of people don't have - a build has to look good in default settings. The other buildings you've shown us are okay, but they're not amazing, nothing pops out at me. I think you'd be fine in the build team but there's nothing in your app that tells me that they need you.

    I'd like to see a big map, to test your commitment to large builds. The easiest way to do this is with a CTF map, but don't worry too much about the gameplay unless you want it in rotation (which would definitely strengthen your application, by the way). The only stipulation is that you have to choose a style that's out of your comfort zone - i.e., don't use stone, wood or sandstone as a primary building material.

    Good luck!

    +1 from me.

    From what I see in the pictures of your builds, you definitely have a fair amount of experience. Despite the fact that the majority of the builds that you have displayed are in the theme of medieval, I think that you definitely have a plethora of potential to be able to many more styles. Not only do I think that you are at a sufficient skill level to be on the team right now, but I also believe that you could become much better (especially in a build team setting).

    I am not sure how skillful you are when it comes to creating good gameplay for maps, but in my opinion, a build team could always use someone who can improve the overall aesthetic. As long as you are active and build a lot, I don't see an overwhelming reason why you shouldn't be accepted. Of course, this is just one man's opinion.

    Good fortune to you Porker5.

    Thank you and I do believe I would get alot out of a team building experience as you said. I have built with friends before and they usually turn out great and I love to communicate with others in order to get the build to look amazing.

    Thank you for the support!

    I was waiting for you to review mine and I love how you give very informative reviews. I understand about the shaders thing but sometimes I like to play in it so I will forget. I am building out of my comfort zone as we speak and will show you a picture of something soon when I am finished with it. I will try to start a CTF map just to do as you said. Thank you for the constructive criticism. :grinning:

    I admire your honesty.

    Soon.

    Oh and sorry for taking my pictures in quake pro

    So I was building and wanted to show progress on a build I was doing

    The building in construction looked nice so I decided to make a cathedral out of it or at least working on cathedral.
